strawman2511 There's nothing strange with that. Have a look at the relevant section in the default rc.lua,
-- {{{ Menu
-- Create a launcher widget and a main menu
myawesomemenu = {
{ "hotkeys", function() hotkeys_popup.show_help(nil, awful.screen.focused()) end },
{ "manual", terminal .. " -e man awesome" },
{ "edit config", editor_cmd .. " " .. awesome.conffile },
{ "restart", awesome.restart },
{ "quit", function() awesome.quit() end },
}
mymainmenu = awful.menu({ items = { { "awesome", myawesomemenu, beautiful.awesome_icon },
{ "open terminal", terminal }
}
})
mylauncher = awful.widget.launcher({ image = beautiful.awesome_icon,
menu = mymainmenu })
This is exactly what is being displayed. awesome is indeed awesome, you can create amazing set-ups but, it requires some work.
Start by looking in the official documentation, https://awesomewm.org/apidoc/documentation/07-my-first-awesome.md.html
